Crab And Roasted Corn Frittata
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup corn, (fresh off the cob or frozen)
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 pound lump Maine Jonah crabmeat (or other crab if Jonah is unavailable)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- Set a 12-inch, oven-safe cast-iron pan over low heat.
- Melt 12 tablespoon of the butter in the pan, then add the peppers and onions.
- Saute until onions are reduced and start to turn golden.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Melt another tablespoon of butter in a saucepan or microwave.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss the melted butter with the corn until kernels are evenly coated.
- Spread the kernels on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast the corn until the kernels start to brown and smell sweet, about 20 minutes.
- Remove and let cool.
- Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the heavy cream and beat vigorously with a whisk for 1 minute.
- Fold in the cheese and crab, then add the peppers, onions, corn, and seasonings.
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat and preheat the broiler.
- Melt the last tablespoon of butter.
- When melted, pour in the egg mixture and make sure the ingredients are spread evenly over the bottom of the pan.
- Let cook until the bottom of the frittata is set, but the top is still moist and eggy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from the stovetop and place under the broiler.
- Broil until the top of the frittata is set and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Slice and serve in the pan, or if youre adventurous, loosen the bottom of the frittata from the pan with a spatula and flip the frittata upside down onto a cutting board to serve.
